He said in his introductory press conference he’ll wear No. 1, signifying being the first Commanders pick. He could pair nicely next to Terry McLaurin competing for reps at receiver. They’ll be catching passes from former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in his first season in Washington.On Thursday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers took Pickett with the 20th pick in the draft. It was the first time the Steelers drafted a player out of Pittsburgh in the first round in 33 years and the first time they took a quarterback on day 1 since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
He finished his five-year career as Pitt’s all-time leader in passing yards , pass completions , total offense , and passing touchdowns . He’s the winningest quarterback in school history with 32 victories in 49 starts.Various mock drafts had Ebiketie projected as a late first- or early second-round pick. On Friday night, he sneaked into the first round as the 38th overall selection by the Atlanta Falcons.
